Alignment Psychotherapy, PLLC
Psychologist, LP, PhD
Our practice is grounded in a deep appreciation for the diverse experiences that shape each person’s life. Our founder grew up in Jamaica, Queens, surrounded and supported by three generations of remarkable women—an experience that continues to inform the values of care, resilience, and community that guide our work today. Across our practice, we have the privilege of supporting individuals from a wide range of cultural backgrounds, gender identities, and socioeconomic experiences, each bringing their own unique perspectives and concerns. As a practice founded by a Black, queer, first-generation college graduate, we hold a strong awareness of how power, privilege, and systemic forces shape daily life and mental health. We also recognize the vulnerability it takes to seek therapy. Our work is informed not only by clinical expertise, but by a deep respect for the courage and commitment involved in pursuing healing and meaningful change. This perspective shapes our intention to create a space that is thoughtful, affirming, and responsive to the full complexity of our clients’ lived experiences.

Aaliyah Gilbert
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LSW
I offer a therapy space where you don’t have to have it all together to be supported. I work with teens, young adults, adults, and couples navigating anxiety, life transitions, relationship challenges, and identity shifts, including the perinatal period and concerns around intimacy. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in culturally responsive, trauma-informed care. Together, we’ll explore what’s beneath the surface, build practical tools, and create space for meaningful, lasting change. If you’re ready for a space where you can be honest, supported, and understood, I invite you to reach out.

Carrie Gauthier
Hypnotherapist, Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist, CCHt
Fear, anxiety, anger, shame, guilt, sadness; we are taught to repress these uncomfortable emotions and mask our pain. When these BIG emotions are shoved down for so long, they try to get our attention in various ways. We push back harder. They often manifest as maladaptive behaviors, habits, addictions, and even chronic physical and psychological conditions. We may overeat, overwork, over-promise, people-please, self-sabotage, be unable to focus, thrill-seek, put ourselves in danger, act out, procrastinate, deplete our own resources, and more. The majority of this type of unwanted behavior and thinking often can be traced back to some form of trauma, abuse, abandonment, or neglect. My hypnotherapy sessions help to process the emotions in a safe and loving way, and facilitate healing. We simultaneously work on reframing the debilitating thoughts and behaviors with healthy and supportive new ones that support your new goals. It is in this way we let go of the old stories and rewrite the future of our dreams.
